A solicitors’ letter received at the centre said alternative homes were being found for animals currently housed there.

But Ms Greaves said she was worried about the future of the animals because other organisations like the RSPCA and the Dogs Trust were swamped with unwanted pets and trying to send animals to Ponderosa.

Ms Greaves said: “I just can’t see that they are just going to be able to take the animals to a new home.”

Anybody who can provide a new home for animals at the centre is asked to call 01977 552303. Ponderosa is open seven days a week from 11am-3pm.
